Pro experience in training/handling

Pet care experience

I have had dogs for the last 17 years. I have had up to 3 dogs at a time (two labs (Lu Lu and Blaze) and a husky (Sable)) and I walked all 3 at the same time! Lu Lu had hip dysplasia and I took her for weekly treatments and administered oral medication. Currently, I have a 9 year old Border Aussie mix and she is full of energy! She enjoys her daily walk along with playing fetch for hours on end. I trim her nails myself too! I feed her twice daily and she sleeps in my bed with me. I brush her daily and give her plenty of cuddle time! She knows commands for sit, down, roll over, come, and go get your toy-to name a few. I would love to expand my heart and walk your dog as well! I also have 2 Australian Shepherd males, ones is 3.5 and the other is 2. They both had to be taught how to chill, need enrichment and training. Im usually taking one of them to training or a trial.

April is fantastic! Everything from start to finish was flawless. Her communication is great, she asks the right questions, and took great care of my dogs. My puppy can be a lot and she was great with her. I'll definitely book again!
